Pediatric Catheters Market Size

Pediatric Catheters Market size was valued at around USD 6.7 billion in 2023 and is estimated to expand at 7.1% CAGR from 2024 to 2032. Factors such as increasing prevalence of pediatric urological conditions, technological advancements in catheters, increasing pediatric population and growing demand for minimally invasive surgical procedures are propelling the market growth.

The growing prevalence of urological conditions in pediatric population has led to an increased demand for pediatric catheters globally. Pediatric urological disorders are highly prevalent worldwide, with undescended testicles, hydrocele, hypospadias, and urinary tract infections (UTIs) among the most common conditions. Further, through various studies it was noted that girls and younger patients under the age of two may have the highest prevalence of UTIs.

This high prevalence of UTIs in girls is due to bacteria Escherichia coli, causing the disease to approximately 80% of pediatric population. Thus, owing to the widespread prevalence of such disorders among children globally, there is an increasing need for pediatric urological care, thereby, boosting the product demand.

Pediatric catheters are medical devices specifically designed and sized for use in children, typically from infancy to adolescence. These catheters are used to assist in various medical procedures involving the urinary, vascular or other procedures. They aim to minimize discomfort and the risk of complications associated with catheterization in pediatric patients.
